Load Full StoryNext Chapter

The moon was in the center of the sky as every clock in Equestria struck twelve. Everypony even the princesses themselves we're asleep except for eight children. Six of them (along with their pet's). We're travelling in the shadows to keep wondering eye's from spotting them. And as they neared the castle a plum light shined and the flash appeared in one of the castle bed rooms. The room they appeared in had a very dim dandelion yellow light. Illuminating only the small bodies of the friend's. Meadow, Binkey, Crepe, Blood Bones, French Press, Bumper. Timidthy, Sweet Dreams, Crackers, Mrs.Oinkers, Saphy, Poppy and Babe sat in a tight circle. Everypony (minus Crepe and Binkey) had a look full of concern. Meadow seemed to be especially nervous as her horn sparked uncontrollably. Finally Timidthy spoke,

"Everypony.......there is no easy way to say this. But.........a while ago I saved Bully's life and--" Timidthy said before Sweet Dreams interrupted.

"You saved her life and have helped her with her new life." Timidthy's jaw drop along with Bumper's and French Press's. While Meadow had a guilty smile on her face. Timidthy then composed himself as he rolled his eye's,

"When did you-" Timidthy said before Sweet Dreams interrupted again.

"Meadow told me. Well I kinda read her diary and figured it out but still it happened." Timidthy's ear twitched,

"Why didn't you-" Timidthy said before Meadow spoke over him.

"I didn't want to scare you silly by telling you your marefriend found out." Timidthy gave an annoyed groan as he opened his mouth.

"Oh the look on your face! It's priceless you're trying to figure out how many of them know despite the fact you forgot we also know! We've known since Babe told us! Oh sweet Celestia I wish I had a--" Crakers said before Timidthy shouted.

"WHY IS EVERYPONY INTERRUPTING ME TONIGHT IS THIS SOME SORT OF PRANK TO TICK ME OFF! I HATE IT WHEN SOMEPONY INTERRUPTS ME WHEN I'M TALKING! ESPECIALLY WHEN IT'S IMPORTANT!" Everypony went quiet as they waited for Timidthy to calm down. Finally Timidthy blushed a deep red he smiled sheepishly,

"And I might as well say that I told Crepe and Binkey. And I'm guessing everypony but French Press and Bumper knew." Timidthy said. Everypony nodded except for French Press and Bumper. Who we're still in extreme shock and frozen like statues. Crackers pecked Bumper on the head and he snapped out of his shocked daze. His eye's narrowed at Meadow,

"I'm not going to kill you but know your on thin ice." Bumper said. Crakers then moved on to French Press and she snapped out of her daze,

"Okay I didn't see that coming......but I'll still give ya a chance. But know if I get one sneaking suspicion your turning evil you're gonna wish you we're never born." French Press said. And Meadow nodded, that was to be expected those two would have the hardest trouble adjusting to the idea. Timidthy muttered something under his breath,

"What was that Prince Pint-sized?" Bumper said teasingly. Timidthy blushed redder,

"Nothing." Timidthy said and French Press said.

"Mmmmhummm." The kid's then laughed as they sneakily left the castle. But before Sweet Dreams left she kissed Timidthy and left the castle. Timidthy smiled a goofy smile as be shut the door and leapt into bed. Meadow was rushing as fast as her hooves could take her. If the mistress saw she wasn't in the orphanage it would cause pandemonium. But she stopped when she heard a small weak barking sound. She turned to an alley way and it got louder, Meadow walked down the alley and she saw a trash can. Meadow knocked the trash can down with her magic and tore through it. The creƤture sounded like a dog and it could be hurt, finally Meadow saw a small ball of fuzz. It's coat was filthy as it unravelled out of its tight ball. It was a baby chinchilla, it had the biggest ears Meadow had ever seen. And the ears had red fluff sticking out of it but Meadow couldn't tell if it was its normal colour or not. Bouncy curly hair-like fluff was on its head around its neck and on its front and back feet. It had big hazel pleading eye's as it's nose twitched furiously. It's tail was short but it was fluffy and at the very end it curled. Meadow held the small thing in her magical grasp. Meadow cooed at the small chinchilla and Meadow swore she the small thing smile. Meadow then decided to teleport to the orphanage for now she had to take care of a little one. Once Meadow got to her room she lit a candle and pulled out a book after she read over the meer basics of chinchillas. Meadow turned to her thermostat and changed the temperature to seventy-five degrees. She then pulled out a basin of water and placed the small chinchilla in it. She pulled out a bucket and placed orange juice in it. Some crushed flowers, sand, dirt, and one-third of her lavender perfume. (If you're wondering why Meadow put sand and dirt in it. It's ironically supposed to make chinchillas fur look good. Seriously I'm not kidding I looked it up.) Meadow then stirred the concoction up and poured it into a large bottle. While Meadow was doing all of this the chinchilla had started playing in the water. As if it had never seen water before. Meadow teleported the bucket away and giggled at the chinchilla. It's fur was absolutely soaked. Meadow smiled as she shook the bottle up and pulled a sponge out. Meadow then levitated the sponge and squirted some of the shampoo on it. Meadow placed the bottle down and started scrubbing the chinchilla to get all the dirt and grim out of it. The small chinchilla started barking again and Meadow put a hoof out to the chinchilla and it bit her. Meadow flinched slightly but she should've seen it coming it was in the book after all. Meadow finished washing the poor thing and washed all the soap out of it. Once Meadow was done she levitated a towel over. And dragged it over the chinchilla until it dryed completely. Meadow then brushed the chinchillas fur until it was silky smooth. And the hair-like fluffy was bouncy and curled at the tip. Meadow was exhausted but proud of her work but as she was about to check the time she was the sun rise from her window. And as it rose it reveled a messy room and the true colours of a now clean chinchilla. The chinchillas body practically glowed as it's coat was a pure white. The fluff in its ears along with its nose we're a red velvet. And the hair-like fluff was a burning colour of scarlet. Meadow smiled at the chinchilla, it was the most beautiful pet she'd ever seen almost like an angel. Meadow finally spoke,

"Are you a girl?" the chinchilla shook its head no.

"So you're a boy." Meadow said and the chinchilla nodded its head as it yawned and felt his eye's droop. Meadow yawned too and picked the chinchilla up and jumped into bed with it. Meadow then lit her horn and pulled the curtains closed. Bathing the room into inky blackness again.

"Night.........Cream Cake." Meadow said as she went to sleep, and unbienoist to her. Cream Cake smiled and curled up into her as he felt the cruel cold world melt away. And he fell into a blissful sleep with Meadow.
